The festival includes organised processions such as the ''Children's Parade'', outdoor spectaculars often involving pyrotechnics, and a great deal of theatre, music, literature and visual arts in venues throughout the city, some of which are brought into this use exclusively for the festival. One feature of the festival is the Artists Open House concept, whereby artists and craftspeople literally open up their houses for the public to view or buy their work. The Brighton Festival Chorus was originally formed in 1968. The Festival regularly commissions new work from companies like DV8 Physical Theatre and Frantic Assembly ; 2006's Festival included the world premiere of new work by Stomp 's Brighton-based creators, Yes/No Productions . It also encourages cross-fertilisation between different art forms, such as 2006's "Stories In Motion", a collaboration between Chuck Palahniuk , Irvine Welsh and Orbital 's Phil Hartnoll ; also 2006's "Warp Moves", a collaboration between Random Dance and artists from Warp Records . The festival is chaired by Polly Toynbee . SEE ALSO
